Silicon carbide (SiC) is a new type candidate material for large-scale lightweight space mirror. Its low thermal distortion  high stiffness  high optical quality  and its dimensional stability are better than other traditional optical substrate materials such as ULE  Zerodure  Beryllium (Be) and so on. In this paper  the lightweight silicon carbide space mirror blank was fabricated by reaction sintering. As a space born mirror material  silicon carbide must be an optical grade ceramic. So we prepared the silicon carbide green body with gel-casting method. Then some carbon materials were supplemented into the green body which will bring reaction-sintering with silicon in a vacuum furnace during 1500-1600C  ultimately the reaction bonded silicon carbide was made. The diameter of SiC space mirror blank we have made is 680mm. If expanding the size of the vacuum furnace  bigger mirror blank can be obtained. The test results show that the mechanical and thermal properties of RB-SiC are excellent with bending strength of 350MPa  fracture toughness of 4.1 MPa·m1/2 and coefficient of thermal expansion(CET) of 2.6710-6/K. The surface roughness(RMS) could be better than 3nm.
